Why is it fair?

May 29, 2013

(poems go here) Not sure what to think In a time such as this When I can’t seem to digest The tuition cost on this list I’m not fully understanding How a country so rich Pimps the poor and still manages To shout that “You should go to school” pitch Why is it fair to pad the pockets of legislators? But steal the very dreams Of the less fortunate What makes it right In the eyes of the law Good ole moral concept You say it’s fair? But here’s the flaw While you rip the dreams away Another country educates their young They prepare for the future While less of their people get hung So tell me, Why is it fair?

The tuition cost in America for colleges and universities keep rising and it often deters some of the brightest of students. My mom is not working right now and we only have my dad working, its really hard to make ends meet, It's a good thing that I'm applying for scholarships and that most of all we trust a higher power.
